Project Overview
The goal of this research project is to enhance rutting and moisture induced damage resistance in asphalt mixture, while the project’s objectives are as follows: review the current asphalt binder and mixture specifications of the City of St. John’s; investigate the performance of asphalt binder additives and modifiers in binder and mastic levels for improving rut and moisture damage resistance for local application through standard and advanced testing; evaluate moisture damage and rut resistant asphalt mixture designs including stone matrix and high modulus mixtures, and mixture with steel slags and waste tire through laboratory and small-scale field testing.
